Speaking to reporters while leader of banned militant outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba Hafiz Saeed was sitting on it, Stylish, a horse who earns his living from the tourists frequenting the Minar-e-Pakistan area, said that he did not know him and had only interacted with him only once on a prior occasion.
“Listen, I don’t want any trouble, okay? I’m just trying to earn a living here,” he said. “The tourist racket is simple. They get on top, a couple of spins around the place, pose for a photo and then off to the next one.”
“In no way should this be construed as photographic evidence of my aiding or abetting anything,” he continued. “I am a respected member of society and I am running this business since a good five years now.”
Stylish, a soft-spoken member of the services sector started his business in 2011, when he couldn’t get an academic job despite having an MPhil in South Asian Studies from Georgetown University where he was a Fulbright Scholar.
Meanwhile, the leader of the Jamat-ud-Dawa, breaking his silence, said, “First of all, I can hear you. And secondly, I assure you you’ve got nothing to be scared of.”
“Now just a couple of more rounds and I will let you cater to the customers who will actually pay.”
